Doesn't add up

From the title: . ..countless Windows PCs

and then...

The malware would only install on systems that weren't running security software

Since current OS market share shows majority of Windows is now Win7 and Win10, and both have Windows Defender ON BY DEFAULT and cannot be turned off, CAN I mark this news as fake news from Google? Really. I am serious. Something doesn't add up. Since disabling Windows Defender is not that easy for regular users.
